Sync it to a cloud

I’m kind of liking the form factor.

Having grown up with mag lite being the new consuner thing that actually worked, there’s something to having a beefy light in your hand.

I wouldn’t trust the disconnected drives. They fail more often when offline than on, in my experience.

Granted it’s your 3rd backup, so it’s a smaller risk.

Happens over both an ethernet card and a USB adapter.

It’s power, not the network or PC.

Monday’s what?

If it were me they’d still be there!

Attention Whore is what we used to call such people.

Seems like we should bring it back.

You. People like you cause unrest.

Hahah, made me snort!

Syncthing or Resilio Sync for photo/file backup from phone. Both work amazingly well.

Never.

I’ve had better luck using MKV for my Samsung TV.

But yea, Mp4 is generally more compatible.

It’s shocking how little resolution plays into quality. I’ve re-encoded some videos down to 480 and played them on a 65" TV and they look fine.

I can also make videos look terrible by just trying to save space by reducing the quality level of the conversion while retaining high resolution (1080).

The problem is they are almost never good, as everyone can read the same info 4x faster than someone can present it (best case), and 10x faster isn’t unusual.

Seems there are 2 kinds - video links with almost no text, just farming visits, and video links with a wall of text.

Both suck. Videos, in general, suck.

So much of what goes on here needs text, lots of it. Video is slow and cumbersome.

Give me your debit card pin.

So, “green” energy is only cheaper if the government pays for it?

Not really a great argument.

Define share?

Keep all files in sync between two points?

Enable ad-hoc access to all files, or a subset?

Or inkjet in general.

Fuck inkjets

I’ve used a DeLonghi espresso machine ($100) for close to 20 years now. My first one lasted 15 years.

It’s not perfect, but just about the best bang-for-buck on the market.
